I do hope to get a photo from the installed work in the near future.
A law office in Dallas, TX wanted a custom bronze door pull for a board room. Working with the interior designer Kathleen Mowry, we came up with an approved design for double glass doors, splitting the logo in half, and figuring out size, weight, finish and mounting hardware of the design. I use Rhino 3D v5 to generate designs, weights, centre of gravity, etc. Once the design is set, I can render it in Rhino Flamingo for illustration. The finalized design was sent to my CNC guy to create the beginning of the master pattern. This is the rendering to show context: and this is the casting, finished. Note that I added a 'hammered' texture on the surface. I carved this into the master, as there is no Hammering 6mm bronze!

stewart smithI'm a woodcarver, turned sculptor, and morphed into a pattern-maker for cast metals. These days I hesitate to define my work, avoiding words like 'artist' or 'craftsman'. I just love designing and making things, keeping a bit of time free to downhill ski, paddle my kayak, and sing with my fellow choristers. Archives
